Missing /bin folder (ReadyNAS 600 Pro+ RNDP600U)
While connected via ssh and performing an rsync backup I managed to delete the /bin folder on from the device rather than from the external HDD, however the copy on the external HDD is available.

Performing the OS reinstall from the boot menu worked, now the admin menu is reporting a drive in predictive failure (it wasn't before and I only knew via email alert). My understanding it that the drive is hot swappable, please correct me if I am wrong as I do have a replacement on hand.

Have since lost my SSH sessions due to an unexpected reboot and therefore unable to complete your request of generating the os_update file unless there is another way.
mdgm-ntgr also suggested doing an OS reinstall from the boot menu, which should do the same thing. Have you tried that?

If you are using XRAID with at least two drives, or a FlexRAID mode with redundancy then you can hot swap the drive, and it should resync.
It'd be good to update your backup (at least of critical data), since the array is unprotected during the resync.

Running X-RAID2I REALLY appreciate all the help and support, thank you all so very much!
I had backed up all the data to an external drive connnected to one of the rear USB ports, althought the degraded array made that process a lot slower than I would have liked.
